Reviews
We are not publishing testimonials on this site at present. When we have reviews from sellers we have actually bought from, they will live on our Google Business Profile, where they are attached to real accounts and can be checked by anybody rather than being printed by us.
Why this page is empty
A testimonial on a company's own website is only as trustworthy as the company printing it, and there is no way for you to check one. So until we have reviews from sellers who will post them under their own names on our Google Business Profile, this page stays empty.
We would rather you judged us on things you can verify without trusting us at all.
The arithmetic behind every offer we make is published on this site, including the cases where listing with an agent would net you more than we would pay. Those pages are the argument. A page of quotations is not.
The questions below are the ones we would ask if we were in your position, of us or of anybody else.
Before you accept any offer
Ask these of us and of anybody else you speak to. The answers sort a real buyer from somebody who will renegotiate once you are committed, and they take about two minutes.
Are you buying it yourself, or selling my contract on?
We buy. The name on the contract is the name on the deed at closing. Some operators put a property under contract and then assign it to a third party for a fee, which means the person at closing is somebody you have never spoken to and the price can move on the way.
Will the offer be in writing, with a date on it?
Yes, within 24 hours of the visit, with the repair estimate we used attached and an expiry date rather than a countdown timer. A verbal number that changes when you start asking questions is the oldest problem in this industry.
Which title company will we close at?
A licensed Oklahoma title company, and you are welcome to name one you would rather use. You are never asked to sign a deed outside that process or transfer anything before the funds have moved.
What comes out of my proceeds?
Only what the law attaches to the property: your mortgage payoff, recorded liens and prorated county taxes. No commission, no listing fee, no seller closing costs, no admin charge.
Will the number drop before closing?
Not from us. The written offer is what we close at. The only thing that moves it is a title issue neither of us knew about, which is why we read the abstract early rather than late.
What if listing would get me more?
Then we say so. There are properties where a good local agent will net you more than we can offer, and we would rather lose a deal we should not have won than talk somebody into the wrong decision.
How we ask
We ask every seller the same five questions after closing, and we ask them to mention the answers rather than to say something nice.
Inherited, foreclosure, divorce, rental, repairs, relocation. A reader in that situation needs to know we have done it before.
Agents, other buyers, two years of doing nothing. This is the most useful answer and almost nobody thinks to ask for it.
Clearing the house, the tenant, the back taxes, being embarrassed about the condition. This is what makes another seller recognise themselves.
Real numbers and real dates. Nine days, or six weeks because of probate.
We ask this deliberately. A review that names one frustration is worth more than ten flawless ones, and if something went wrong we would rather it was said out loud.
One request, one reminder five days later, and nothing after that. Nobody is chased and nobody is offered anything in exchange for a review.
One short conversation, a written offer within 24 hours, and no pressure to take it. If listing is genuinely the better route for your property, we will tell you that instead.
Every review here came from somebody who started with a written offer and no obligation. That is the same thing on offer now.
No fees, no obligation, and your property is never listed publicly.
